Big Baby Taking Baby Steps in Return

Filed under: Celtics, NBA Injuries

Toss out the pacifier. Big Baby has grown up.



Well, maybe.



The Boston Celtics still want to see what happens in the future with Glen Davis, the burly power forward who suffered an embarrassing broken right thumb just before the start of the regular season after getting into a fight with a friend.



But Davis has returned to the court, and has provided some encouraging play in his first three games back. He's determined to show his Big Baby moniker is not going to continue to define his maturity.



"No matter how old you think you are, you're never as grown up as you think you are because you still make kid mistakes, childish mistakes,'' Davis said in an interview with FanHouse about what he has learned since the Oct. 25 incident. "When you go through a tough stretch like that, I think it's about character. I learned a lot about my character and what kind of person I really truly am. How I feel. It's just a life lesson that I had to go through to be the great player that I want to be one day.''
